through the opening and he opened the door. If I

thing like that. OF course, smoke cigarettes but
that Is my own affair.""

special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, April l4-The agitation against coer-
cion Is indeed the peoples battle. The number
ana enthusiasm OF the meetings are marvellous.
The whole country is up as In the hottest days OF
the Bulgarian agitation. The meetings In the best
sense OF the words are local and spontaneous for
the great orators are resting. The statement that
a number OF English radicals are about to con-
duct an antt-coercion campaign In Ireland is with
out foundation. After the second reading when
the Dill goes into committee the agitation will be-
come hotter than ever. Chamberlain character
isticaly enough has arranged TO be absent in Scot
land, so as to escape voting for the second read
Ing or the bill next Monday night. He strongly
supports the bin OF course, and would unhesitat-
lngy vote for 1t he thought there was any chance
OF the government being beaten. This not being
the case he desires TO avoid all the odium possible
A significant fact Is that Chamberlain's speech
yesterday, for the first time since he was made a
cabinet minister was summarized in a dozen lead
ing English papers both liberal and tory instead Of
pelng reported fully.
GLADsTONE's SPEECH
Monday night will deal with the whole question
OF the government proposals and coercion. His
speech at the Eighty Club Tuesday night Will en-
body his latest revised views On the Irish question
generally. The two orationS will therefore give
an exhaustive presentation OF his present attitude
and the authorized position OF the liberal party.
There is talk among the liberals OF the advisa-
Dlty or fntimat1ng 10 the diSSentfent liberals that
their faults in the past will be overlooked they
vote against the coercion bill, and that this will
De their last and only chance OF reconciliation with
their party. They are In a state of nervousness
knowing that II the government should be de-
feated while they themselves are In the present
position, the liberal uniOniSt party will be prac-
t1cally annihilated at another election. Therefore
such an o1er, II reSponsibly made, would be a
powerful temptation.
